Explanation:

The question is incomplete:

Jensen Corporation uses the percentage-of-sales method to estimate uncollectibles. Net credit sales for the current year amount to $2,010,000 and management estimates 3% will be uncollectible. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts prior to adjustment has a debit balance of $18,000. After all adjusting entries are made, the balance in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts will be:

uncollectible accounts = $2,010,000 x 3% = $60,300 credit

the adjusting entry at the end of the year:

December 31, 202x, bad debt expense:

Dr Bad debt 60,300

    Cr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 60,300

the ending balance of the Allowance for uncollectible accounts account = $60,300 - $18,000 (debit balance) = $42,300

I would just like to point out that this is not my personal answer. This same question was asked on a different page. I do not take credit for this

Both personal and government budgeting involve an ongoing process of balancing multiple needs and wants. Both have two types of spending to consider: a personal budget’s fixed expenses correspond to the government’s mandatory spending; the flexible spending in a personal budget corresponds to the government’s discretionary spending. In both types of budgets, overspending can mean taking on debt. An important way that personal budget and government budgets differ is that personal budgets are meant to meet the needs of those in a particular individual or household and rarely involve the income of others. In the case of government budgets, Congress is making decisions about millions of taxpayers’ money and must work to make a budget that takes care of both individual citizens and the national interest.
